2) CONSERVATION OF LAND- LAND AS A NATURE RESERVE

Destruction of land has the effects of destroying the natural scenery, disturbing the habitats of the living organisms as well as increasing the shortage of land. Land conservation can minimize these losses and damage so that more land can be made available for human use.


Nature reserve refers to an area of land that is designated as a protected area. It is an area reserved to protect the plants, wildlife and physical surroundings for that area. Having nature reserves will create a natural heritage for the people of future generations as well as to protect the land from being exploited for commercial, residential, industrial purposes, for urbanization and cultivation of crops. Therefore, many governments have taken steps to protect the limited available land for future generations. The lands protected for their natural heritage in Singapore are The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, The Sungai Buloh Wetland Reserve, Pulau Ubin and mangroves on the Northern coast.

Hence, land use planning is an essential step for land conservation. In some areas, the government may impose a conservation restriction on a land owner limiting the use of land for the purpose of land conservation. In this way, valuable land can be reserved for proper development.
